I have a 1999 Mitsubishi Airtrek with 4G64 GDI engine. The engine suddenly developed a problem losing all power.Now it will start ok, run very roughly about five seconds with some black smoke at exhaust then stops. The plugs are very sooty, have been cleaned but still nogo.Your help please
Black smoke means you are running rich the rough start tells me that your injectors are leaking they fill up the cylinders making the plugs sooty and the smoke on start-up
get to a garage and have them run a power balance test and fuel pressure leakdown
unless of course you are outside the US and your vehicle has a diesel engine in that case then you probably have a glow-plug(s) issue
same thing... fuel not being burnt causing the smoke
Need to check a number of things. you need to check spark plugs, oil, water/antifreeze , then you need to compression test the engine. Please email me at [email protected] so i can have your email and send you the diagram to walk you through some things.
